We never were educated on who what or where we sent our best and why. Even Viet Nam.. I never knew where that country was or way we had to go fight them except..communist we’re taking over. We send our best..do they even know the culture, history or why or do they just obey orders? Seems like my parents’ generation had a better idea of why, what and the end goal was. Not anymore.
